Player of the Year
« on: March 25, 2007, 11:53:27 AM »
alright, lets hear it.  Who is the frontrunner entering the TOC?

Duke - 3 titles, high average, but an injury plagued season.
PDW - 2 titles (one being a major) and a few other solid finishes
Malott - 1 title, but the leader in telecasts and points
Kent - 2 major titles + 1 other telecast, but with a big midseason drought
PA - 2 titles, 4 telecasts and a miraculous second half.

Kent because of the 2 majors.  Duke's 3 titles look good also, but just not as impressive as Kent.  Remember that Jaros got the shaft a couple years back when he won 4 (an outstanding accomplishment) and did not win POY.  Of course Tommy was just as deserving.  I think any of the other guys would have to win the TOC to have a chance.

When, not if, PDW wins the TOC, he will FINALLY be PBA PLAYER of the YEAR!!!!

He should have been in 88 or 89, Holman was voted POY, and he didn't even win a title that season!!!

How is POY voted anyways?

The reason I ask, is that sometimes POY is not always about how well you do, but what kind of sportsman you are.

Jaros won three titles in 03-04 but had an otherwise modest year.  Mika won PoY, and was at or close to the top in points, had two titles, including a 300/800 on TV.  Made the show in two majors, was the average leader.  He was quite dominating.  TJ was up against Patrick Allen the next year, four titles to three, while one of PA's was a major.  I believe PA was tops in points, and had the second largest single season earnings ever.  It was a tossup, admittedly, but you can't say that TJ got the shaft by losing to PA.

I'd say Kent, but if any of the other guys you mentioned wins the TOC, I think that will change.

Mine's not always that much better (ask me about viscous operators and deformation tensors), but I like Steve Jaros, he's one of my favorite bowlers.

I honestly think it depends on next week's TOC... that's how close it is. Right now I see Duke as the front-runner.


Yeah I think we'll know after next week.  Now you can't really rule out any of these guys.
